ATLANTA, July 12, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  LIGATT  Security International (Pink Sheets:LGTT), a cyber security company, today announced that the company has filed a civil and criminal complaint against IT consultants Chris Riley and Ben Rothke as well as former Cyber Group Network employees, Randolph Morris, Nisha Kappor and others for alleged stock bashing.

According to LIGATT, the alleged stock bashers do not own any stock within the company and bash LIGATT Security on investor websites in order to manipulate the company's stock for their own personal reasons. One alleged basher has posted over 500 posts within the last 6 months on investor sites such as Investors Hub, Yahoo.com , and many more.

"These bashers think because they use different usernames and setup accounts with false information they can't be tracked, but this is what LIGATT Security does every day," says Gregory Evans, CEO of LIGATT Security International.

When I first saw the title of How To Become The Worlds No. 1 Hacker by Gregory Evans, it reminded me a pitch I get from people trying to hawk Amway.  But just as there is a limit to the amount of people who can buy and sell soap, there can only be a single #1 hacker in the world.  With that, let’s hope no one buys this book, so Neo can keep his title.

The book does get your attention with its audacious title.  But a more appropriate title, albeit less flashy, would be The Not So Refined Art of Cut and Paste.

The online version of Technology Review today carries a story I wrote about a government funded research group that is preparing to release a new free tool designed to block “drive-by downloads,” attacks in which the mere act of visiting a hacked or malicious Web site results in the installation of an unwanted program, usually without the visitor’s consent or knowledge.
